Also from the other thread
Even if the Wii U could have done better, it did a decent portion of the console sales last week, almost a quarter, and that's with Pikmin 3 coming out for two days within the catalogued week rather than the usual four days. Don't forget to take this into account.

This week has a holiday in it so it'll also help for the charts next week.

It was also really hot to the level of heat wave in Japan last week, and it came out in a holiday weekend where people were not in the streets. Even the Pokémon Centers were fairly empty and that seldom happens.

This has an effect on sales. I'm not saying this to spin but as an explanation. You need to factor in all the factors in order to make a determination.

There were two possible gif outcomes for today; rising from coffin at a funeral or horse dying scene from Neverending story.

Does anyone have the horse dying scene one handy?

20k is not okay off of the biggest pushed thing this year until December by any estimation. Thats another half a year of shit really until Mario.

Surely disaster on their own shores will force Nintendo's hand into supplanting US and EU Pikmin 3 releases with those regions official price-cuts because it seems quite clearly the game needs some other circumstance to push it further.

Oh my god I knew this week was going to be a classic, I can't stop laughing.
